Hotel les Orchidées

In search of hotel availability, we, after searching, ended up at “Les Orchidées”. Good !! discovery! concrete concrete structure without green space as is too popular with "business" investors who think that fully occupying the spaces by cementing as much as possible is "good". Sympathetic/diplomatic welcome from the accountant. Ladies at the reception quite cold, not really smiling. We are then told that we will be staying in the annex, a similar building in a more distant parallel “von”. But meals and breakfasts will be taken in the main building. Transport from one place to another can be done with a hotel vehicle, one of which is a little tired or even dangerous. In the annex, a polite and open welcome. We feel that the building, although a little flashy, was designed and built by almost amateur participants. Here and there we find pillars which, we hope, help solidify the structure. We see that the materials are low-end, for example the door between the reception and the rooms with glazing clouded by damage. We are offered a choice of 2 rooms: a large one and a smaller one. We opt for the smallest to secure its refreshment. Internet very bad. The next day they added a specific rooter and everything is better. Difficult first night because it's the type of building where the doors that are closed without much attention (average customers) make noise (slamming and noise of the locks. Our neighbor must have loved his door because this type of noise has was repetitive. The bathroom has a door that ALSO opens onto the hallway. Certainly locked but hey!! A bit of noise coming from the street because the vintage one probably sold to be soundproofed is not. probably a question of price). The curtains are hung in an artisanal way and the rod ends up falling if you provoke it!! In the morning, no water pressure and then no more water. They learned on the job. But the water comes back. We are told by the booster. Taken to the main building for breakfast!!! No self-service. 2 small bites of bread and 2 lilliputian pastries Of course it is also offered fruit salad and omelettes but if you are not interested, the catering is minimalist. A dose of jam is given. And.... no butter "the butter is finished"!! He finally arrived 30 minutes later. We serve juice but if you want water, you have to pay. By insisting we end up having water. But painful. So, the staff is friendly but we sense economic constraints undoubtedly coming from above. But at 75,000 FCFA per night, the quality/price ratio is very high. 2nd night better (no more neighbors)!). On the 2nd morning, no water at all. We were invited to go shower in another room on the 2nd floor. Half naked!! . Delay therefore departure for appointment. Front of

ideal location a stone's throw from the beach and the convention center in a safe and quiet area with a very warm welcome from Evelyne (the owner) and her entire team. Accommodation to be recommended without conditions. we will come back to it.
